FUND EDUCATION.
CHANGE FUTURES.
Partum EDUFIN connects funders with students through Higher Education Institutions. We administer bursaries and similar grant programmes, pay institutions — never students — and return a complete evidence pack for B-BBEE, Skills Development and SED.
Trusted by funders. Trusted by institutions. Transparent. Compliant. Impactful.

Funding models
Bursary Programme and similar grant programmes for Skills and SED.
Our programmes
Two ways to fund. One evidence-led platform.
Bursary Programme
Skills Development bursaries paid to the institution. Recognised as a Category B, C or D learning programme.
- Direct payment to the HEI — never to the student.
- 100% of bursary funding paid to the institution.
- Held in a dedicated trust account until settlement.
- Full bursary evidence pack for Skills Development.
Similar grant programmes
Socio-Economic Development grants for access and persistence — including arrears, registration and living support.
- At least 85% of SED value to qualifying beneficiaries.
- Paid through the HEI, not as a cash award to the student.
- Independent from Skills Development bursary spend.
- Full SED evidence pack for B-BBEE reporting.
